Heading to Africa? Maybe someone you know is? This journal would be perfect!

This hardcover blank book makes a great journal or sketchbook. The front and back covers are made using a map of the North Africa from a vintage atlas. The front shows the western half of Northern Africa, and the back shows the Red Sea and surrounding countries such as Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia. The end pages are light green lotka paper. It has been handbound with brown two-ply linen thread in a coptic binding. This type of binding is handsewn and makes for an exposed spine that opens flat and is very durable.

There are 80 pages of 60lb white, unlined paper. This book opens flat to make for easy writing or sketching and in this new size and shape, at 5" x 5" (12.7cm x 12.7cm) it's an easy size to take anywhere and throw into your bag while you travel.
